Extravagant weddings (and the subsequent bitter divorces) are regular soap opera fare, but Days of Our Lives added a new twist when it married off lead characters Sami and Lucas in a green ceremony. Their May wedding featured organic flowers and food, biodegradable favors, and recycled-paper invitations, all of which were touted on the show's NBC Web site. Also detailed online were Sami's nine "close calls": three previous trips down the aisle and six nuptials called off at the last minute. Will the green wedding be the one with the fairy-tale ending?
